This applies to any numbers being divided by 0 really. In all honesty, wouldn’t 0 divided by anything just be 0? There was nothing there to divide in the first place, so why expect there to magically be a resulting number when you divide nothing?

Just reverse the question you’re posing to see the problem. Let’s just pick the number 2 to work with;
2 / 0 = ? , can be algebraically rewritten as 0 x ? = 2. The problem is, no real number works for “?”. 0 multiplied by *anything* is equal to zero. So when we put that logic in reverse, we run into a problem where *anything* divided by zero = ???? [nothing mathematically possible/relevant]
